We all know that a microwave can get messy…especially those at our place of work. (People often seem to forget to cover their food.) Well, here’s an easy, inexpensive and “green” way to clean any grimy microwave.

In a large, glass bowl combine approximately 1 cup of each of the following ingredients: water, lemon juice and white vinegar. One thing to note, the length of time you need to microwave the mixture and let it sit depends on the dirtiness of your microwave. The times below are approximate

Start your microwave and let it run for enough time that the mixture will boil for 3-6 minutes. After this, keep the microwave door closed and let the mixture sit and steam for 5-10 minutes. Once the food debris has softened, it is ready to wipe away. If needed, you can repeat the steps above.
